Musical Fidelity M8x Vinyl Phono Stage

The Musical Fidelity M8x Vinyl Phono Stage is available for demonstration in our Hull store.

The M8x Vinyl is the flagship phono stage of the Musical Fidelity M-Series, showcasing the best in technology and build quality. Designed with trickle-down technology from the superior Nu-Vista range, it offers reference-class sound at a more accessible price. Its highly flexible design ensures a sound output that faithfully replicates the original recording, making it an exceptional choice for audiophiles who value authenticity in their music experience.

The M8x Vinyl is both fully discrete and fully balanced, ensuring a purer signal path by eliminating integrated circuit chips from the audio signal path and doubling components for balanced operation. This design delivers dynamic, natural musical performance free of noise. Its split-passive EQ stage further enhances its performance by providing a precise EQ curve and improved impedance matching. With selectable RIAA, DECCA, and COLOMBIA EQ options, the M8x Vinyl supports diverse record collections while offering listeners customizable sound profiles tailored to their preferences.

Flexibility is another standout feature of the M8x Vinyl. It includes both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA input and output options, allowing seamless integration into complex audio setups. The inputs accommodate multiple tonearms or turntables and remember the last settings for each, reducing the need for constant adjustments. The outputs, powered by independent stages for RCA and XLR, can be used simultaneously, offering convenience during playback.

The M8x Vinyl’s meticulous design extends to its power stage, which features an encapsulated super-silent power transformer and industrial-grade power sockets with EMI filters and DC blockers to eliminate noise and interference. Symmetrical low-noise power supplies for each channel ensure optimal performance, while the robust aluminium chassis protects sensitive internal circuitry. Its user-friendly front panel includes aluminium buttons and dials for customizable gain, capacitance, and impedance settings. The M8x Vinyl's ability to deliver noise-free, distortion-free performance with impeccable accuracy and emotional depth makes it one of Musical Fidelity’s finest phono stages.
